Conspiracy Rhymes

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's Horses,
and all the King's Men,
made it look like an accident.
Because Humpty was pregnant with the King's baby.


Hey diddle diddle,
the cat and the fiddle.
The cow didn't jump over the moon.
It was all faked in a studio,
to get one up on the commies.


Who killed Cock Robin?
"I," said the Sparrow,
"with my bow and arrow."
Rather too convenient,
don't you think?
It was actually the mole,
on the grassy knoll.


Old MacDonald had a farm
E.I.E.I.O.
And on that farm he had a cow,
mutilated by aliens.


Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Faked his death on Saturday,
I saw him last Sunday,
Buying a Quarter Pounder.


Ring a ring o' roses,
a pocket full of posies.
Attishoo! Attishooo!
We all fall down.
Apart from the Illuminati,
who have all been vaccinated.

"More turbans than you could stick a sheikh in"

I invented this phrase at lunchtime, and I personally think it is about the third most witty thing anyone has ever thought of.

Now I'm just waiting for the perfect situation to come along so I can say it, and be instantly named the Oscar Wilde of my generation.

Um...

Does anyone work at a turban factory?

Labels:

Anonymous Dan  Perhaps you could broaden the opportunities for it's use to include wind turbines (turbans, do you see)

Perhaps not 
Blogger Billy  Sheikh Yerbouti? 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  It must be a day for it! I was struggling for an analogy for our security provider, when inspiration hit:

"I wouldn't trust them to protect a nun's virginity at a eunuch convention" 
Anonymous Jessica Shannon  Sheikh Yoass 
Anonymous Alli' Cat'  Sheikh Rhattlan-Raull ? 
Blogger Kat  Pedant alert:

Stick a sikh in. 
Blogger Becky  Sheikhs wear turbans too, actually. :-P And Sikh doesn't work, anyway. 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  Traditionally a sheik is more likely to wear a keffiyeh, but in a panto (for example) a turban may be worn :) 
Blogger Becky  Actually tradionally sheiks would more likely wear a turban. The keffiyeh is more recent. But I'm tired of arguing with pedants. ;-) 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  I stand corrected, and cede my pedant crown to you :) 
Anonymous NH  You could always try "World of Turbans", "Turbans Direct" or "Just Turbans" which are all located on the North Circular Road.

Or you could say it whilst watching that old John Travolta movie, "Turban Cowboy".

I need to work on this a little more, but I couldn't resist letting you try it before I go away for the weekend. :-)

I'm not sure about the tranny-offset advice, though - "Take up professional wrestling" Erm, I don't think being manhandled by beefy men is going to cure anything, do you? More of an encouragement, I wuld have thought :-p

British Trannying: time for a rethink

So once again Britain makes an ignominious exit from an international competition. I was shocked and appalled, but not entirely surprised. It's just yet another example of Britain being outclassed in an activity that we practically invented.

It was hardly Leah's fault, she was up against insurmountable odds and huge competition, from countries with governments that take trannying seriously. A lot of those other girls were obviously the product of intensive training regimes from childhood (I also wouldn't be at all surprised if some of them were drug assisted)!

We might mock the Pacific Rim states for their high-pressure training techniques, but with results like that, who can argue with them?

Two problems need to be resolved immediately, in my view. Firstly, British Trannying needs to get wise to sponsorship opportunities. To cross-dress at an international level these days requires money, and lots of it. Leah may have been rightly lauded for being the only girl in the competition to make her own costume, but the day of the self-financed gentleman tranny is over. After all, would you expect Fernando Alonso to roll up to the starting line in a car he made at home? And am I the only one who saw Leah's fabulous unfolding fairy-light costume and immediately thought "there's an ideal spot in the middle for a Tescos logo"?

Secondly: education, education, education. Britain needs a national training programme starting now if we are to have any hope of competing in the world arena. National Lottery funding should be diverted into setting up several Academies of Tranny Excellence, to identify and nurture the promising tranny talent. Spotted young enough, and given the right tuition, our young girly-boys of today could be the world-class ladyboys of tomorrow!

Labels: ,

Blogger Carolyn Ann  But, but Alonso's car is made in Ron's garage... It's a big garage, though. :-)

Maybe an over-the-top drag queen to do the Joan Rivers bit? :-)

The show was good, then? (Despite the early loss) As you might expect, American TV didn't carry it. :-(

Carolyn Ann 
Anonymous Suzie Tall  Time to lobby our MPs to get walking in heels, skirt swishing and bust projection into the national curriculum for everyone!

Carolyn Ann
I think the programme is available on the Channel4 website:-
http://www.channel4.com/health/microsites/M/mr_miss_pageant/index.html
if you can work out to view online. You might have to pretend to be in the UK.

Suzie x 
Anonymous NH  Yes, but the problem with our trannies compared with the SE Asian ones is that ours aren't prepared to love you long time. We also lack that ability to make drunk Australians in bars go "Is that a guy or a chick? Ah, who cares!" 
Anonymous Jayne  Hi Bex,
trust me, I work in a school. Starting them young would be very worth while, can we also introduce anti-androgens into the water? Sort out teenage pregnancy and nasty boys fighting. Or we could just have their balls cut off, but I digress.

Starting early would be most valuable, have you any idea how hard it is to get my boyfriend into a Red PVC mini dress? 
Blogger Penny M  I think Leah should have won it, I suspect the others were using performance enhancing chemicals

Keep drugs out of trannying, I say! 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  I'm still sniggering like a schoolgirl at the phrase "Pacific Rim".

*Grows up*
